Thanks Guys,
All appears well after the master/slave replacement and I have left the blanking plug in for now. Interestedly the Mitsubishi part substitute for the Damper valve is only $16.85 at my local Mitsi dealer, unfortunately there are non in the country at the moment but I may order one anyway as he said about 1 month away. The part number is MR 319469 if anyone is looking for a replacement damper.

Cheers

PETROL / Whirring sound from steering wheel after coupler replacement
« Last post by wezair80 May 14, 2026, 15:33:31 »
Hi,

I recently changed the rubber coupler, thats located between the electric motor and steering assembly, that was making the usual knocking sound from the steering assembly but now I have this new whirring sound when I turn quickly the steering wheel. I have recorded this sound in the youtube link below:

:link: - YouTube

Has anybody experience this sound after replacing the rubber coupler?

Regards,

Wes

I replaced the damper with a plug, but the root cause was leaky slave cylinder and worn out clutch. After they were replaced I didn't refit the damper and can't say I noticed any difference. It probably depends on your driving style and how gentle you are with the clutch.

Another milestone and Firty is as close to new condition as she has ever been. This morning I replaced the rubber steering coupler and eliminated the dreaded clunk.

 It's now time to get serious about letting her go and giving her a new life with some lucky bugger.  :'(

Hi, Mark. From the 17 years I've been on this forum, nobody has ever posted regretting replacing the damper with the plug. That observation may be all you need to know.

Car Related (any make, any model) / MAF readings at WOT
« Last post by mstoykov May 12, 2026, 17:12:05 »
I recently did two WOT tests 1900 - 4200 RPM in third gear and got some interesting values ​​from my 2011 I30 1.6 CRDI U2 85kW (114hp):
- Boost 1.65 bar,
- MAF 119.47 g/s.

Are these values ​​normal for a 114hp engine?
I read somewhere that the maximum values ​​should be up to 1.5 bar for boost and 100g/s for MAF.

I have no problems with the car, everything seems to be fine, no error codes, it runs great.

If you're still interested, here are some values:

1. Idle: 6.3 to 7 g/s
2. at ~1500 RPM
Average Value: 14.63 g/sec
Context: This was measured during steady cruising or light acceleration.

Give your dealer a try - explain the situation and see if they can provide an update, or even perform it.

Hi all,
   Recent updates to Android auto have stopped my call audio working, tried phone updates,  repairing etc. My infotainment system (non nav!) has seemingly never been updated. It lists

pde_PE_22my.eur.d2v.001.001.210709

Now where can I find a newer release? All I find via Hyundai sources are for Navigation systems... Hyundai even comes back with    
this  software for my VIN    PDe_PE.EUR.S5W_L.001.001.251204

What is  the difference between the navigation systems and not?

Does there exist somewhere a non nav newer software?
